The result is said to have been what was later called the 'Mondseer'. Production is first mentioned in a document in 1830, when Prince Carl Philipp von Wrede (1767–1838) used this method in the dairy of Mondsee Castle cheese was made, hence the name of the cheese. The second name 'Mondseer Schachtelkäse' was established around 1900, when it was marketed under this name according to its wooden box packaging. Castle and Gut Mondsee were owned by Wrede's descendants from the Almeida family until 1985, after the last bearer of the name, Princess Ignatia von Wrede, died in 1905. For a long time they produced and sold the cheese in monopoly production on their own farm."

From the Description section: "Today Mondseer is not only produced in Mondsee, Austria, but also under license in other Upper Austrian and Salzburg dairies."
